Protective Apparel - Honda CRF125F 2021 Owner's Manual

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved jersey,
shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing
proper gear can reduce the chance of injury
when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose proper gear.
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet, eye
protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
6
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and have a
chin strap that can be tightened securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your
eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help
protect your feet, ankles, and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help
protect your hands.
• Riding trousers with knee and hip pads, a
riding jersey with padded elbows, and a
chest/shoulder protector.
